open-harness: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/release-local/SKILL.md

release-local is a skill for Claude Code from MaxGfeller/open-harness. It costs 21 tokens per session (281 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided release procedure for a pnpm monorepo, a repository containing multiple related packages, that uses Changesets to manage version updates and release notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It checks pending changesets, updates package versions and changelogs, prepares the release commit, publishes packages to npm, and creates or repairs GitHub Releases.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of publishing from the wrong branch, releasing with uncommitted changes, or accidentally publishing packages and GitHub tags without confirmation.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is MaxGfeller/open-harness's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on open-harness itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything open-harness configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

release-local scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Run the release workflow from RELEASING.md.

Guardrails:

  • Only run this on main unless the user explicitly wants a dry run elsewhere.
  • Require a clean worktree before versioning or publishing.
  • Ask for confirmation before creating the release commit.
  • Ask for confirmation again before starting pnpm release:publish, because it publishes to npm, pushes the branch and tags to GitHub, and may require npm OTP entry.

Workflow:

  1. Run pnpm release:status and confirm there are pending changesets.
  2. Run pnpm version-packages.
  3. Review the generated version bumps and changelog entries with the user.
  4. Commit the release files with Release packages unless the user requests a different message.
  5. Run pnpm release:publish.
  6. Confirm that npm publish succeeded and that GitHub Releases were created or updated for the tags on HEAD.
  7. If npm publish succeeded but GitHub release creation failed, rerun pnpm release:github after fixing the blocker.

If publish fails because of npm auth, OTP, or missing release notes, stop, report the exact blocker, and do not keep mutating the repo.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
